As Sparks Fly Upwards

#Fireworks #Ashbourne #Meath Knock it off, you cunts.

Am I having a stroke, or is The Guardian?

One can but hope she finds - or has already found - the husband she deserves.

Numb and Number.

It seems we can look forward to 007: The Gap Year www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Team Trump if dealing with Adolf Hitler in 1939: "Czechoslovakia and Poland could have avoided all of this if their failed leaders had just made a deal with you, a true humanitarian. We salute you, sir."

Watching - for some reason - 2015's Jekyll and Hyde, and appreciate that it was the outlandish violence that got it cancelled, but the villains are straight out of 101 Dalmatians.

REPUBLICANS: "Y'all can't vote for James Talarico cause he sounds a bit gay!!!!" DONALD TRUMP:

No notes.

Gladly.

They all need to be CHARGED

"Kimberly Guilfoyle steps down as US ambassador to Greece after getting caught." Fixed that for you, @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Looks like the G split Zuckerberg.

Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Nigel Farage FREEPOST Reform Ltd Should find him.

the more Musk spends on the midterm elections, the more ubiquitous this image needs to be

10 years ago today GOP Sen. Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter…the way Mr Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world”

SPOILER: Late to the party, I know, but just watched Ep1 of #MobLand, and two points arise: ° I'm presuming that Conrad and Maeve are both suffering from dementia, and ° in the scene where Archie gets offed, the clock on the mantlepiece is all over the shop.

Craziness on the Liffey...

So anyway, I got my diagnosis this morning (benign, thanks), and celebrated with Mrs F in a Dublin bar run by a friend that was running a soundtrack by a band called Viking Spirit, which for the uninitiated is Lordi with fiddles. The lyrical theme is "If it moves, stab it."

I mean, really? Fucking really? This shit's been coming down the tracks for at least half a decade, and they still took the the soup? Fuck 'em. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

I volunteered for Childline for a decade at uni and I know firsthand a snapshot of how many lives Esther Rantzen changed. Her later years were known for assisted dying but her legacy will be giving vulnerable children someone to listen to and care. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

When you die, please don't take your organs with you. They will be of NO use to you. Please sign the back of your driver's license and be an organ donor. This is the highest form of "charity" because the recipient can do nothing for you except be grateful for your selfless gift.

Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister: "In 2015, we had a deal, we remained committed to that deal, it was the US that withdrew with zero justification"

Denmark is trolling Trump.

Big Gav Statement

Fuck the IFA, and fuck their trolling 'explanation' of Saied Abu Farchi's rotten fuckery. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Trump recently said that he didn’t promise not to start new wars. Obviously, that’s a lie. Good thing we have video recordings of this.

He's like Rodney Dangerfield on Fentanyl.

I think the phrase "under Reform UK" is spurious, because there's absolutely nothing beneath Reform UK.

Oh God no. Nora Charles is sharp as Occam's Razor. Hastings is decent, true, and dim as a parish-house bulb.

Of course, #Traitors is a lot more fucking loaded in Ireland.

I would say "May her memory be a blessing", but I can guarantee that it will be. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Try this at your job tomorrow. Show up to your shift at the restaurant on a packed Friday night, tell the manager your section “has done its work,” and

So painful to lose a parent at any age. And Alzheimer's is such an unforgiving disease. Thoughts with the PM and his family as they make sense of it all and reflect on his Dad.
